What a run! LONG MAY RRE RUN!

Left 82-degree Maui xmas day & arrived to 3 feet of snow in Portland! Lordy Lordy was I chillin'!!

Was concerned ahead of time that venue wouldn't allow for enough foot-stompin'...but was OH so pleasantly surprised by: the Venue (plenty of room to move),
the Hobos (one big love puddle w/everyone singin' along!),
the Venue Workers (one security worker gave folks their pipes BACK after the show!:-),
and most of all,
OUR BOYS on stage & all those who work so diligently behind the scenes to pull it all off!!!

I'd requested Mess, Rain Song & Butterfly - and yes, indeed, we did hear all 3 performed MAGNIFICENTLY (Mess, Rain 12/30)!

Thanks so much for the timely, excellent download, Mark...

We are back on our rock in the Pacific basking in the memories & can't wait to get back to the mainland for more!

Aloha nui loa to all!

these boys know how to play music that is for sure. this was by far one of the very best railroad shows i have ever seen. earth, sea, and air baby.

Reviewer: intpseeker - - January 3, 2009
Subject: Three for three!

Many thanks Mark. These are three outstanding recordings of a three great shows

Reviewer: CaptainBolide - - January 3, 2009
Subject: stellar!

The boys were in the groove as was the crowd.
I was blessed with finding a tix at the end
of the second night and was blown away.
The shows built from day one toward the climactic new years eve session that left the wittnesses in a state of nirvana. The first night was nearly my dream set list, yet the NYE show put me in a space that I haven't felt in two decades.

Kudos RRE! Kudos Aladdin!

Happy New Years!

Subject: Thanks so much Mark!

Sounds great...and oh my god, what a show! Railroad Earth - blowing minds and opening hearts since 2001. :-)

Reviewer: JoyousKellyjoy - - January 2, 2009
Subject: Amazing Show!

After these three luscious nights at the Aladdin, I am so thankful that of all the places on the planet I could have been - I was graced with the presence of beautiful people and mind blowing - heart opening music that is setting 2009 right.

Subject: thanks mark

thanks mark for adding these shows so quickly, we listened to the 1st two nights before we went to new years and it was nice to have been to recap those nights before the run was even over. I sent my friends from out of state home with copies and they couldn't have been more impressed. All 3 nights we saw you hard at work and just want to give a shout out for doing such a nice job on these recordings as well as all the others you make. The turn around was pro.
